Hello,
a bit about me...

Welcome to my professional site.

 

I currently work as an assistant professor in the Research Methods and Information Science department at the University of Denver in Colorado. Previously, I worked for 10 years as an academic librarian.

I am open to new full-time, remote opportunities as an LIS professor and researcher, as well as work in academic library settings.

 

In addition to an MLS degree, I have a PhD in sociology, as well as an MA and BA in psychology. 

 

My primary interests in research are:

 

  • Libraries as dysfunctional organizations and workplaces

    • Most recent book: Libraries as Dysfunctional Organizations and Workplaces

  • LIS in, for, and about the Arctic and North​

    • Most recent book: Library and Information Studies for Arctic Social Sciences and Humanities

    • The next planned book: Library and Information Science for Arctic and Northern Studies
